1.1. Background During exercise and with exposure to hot climatic conditions, there is
tendency for the human body to store heat and for body temperatures to rise. Changes in …

A rise in body core temperature and loss of body water via sweating are natural
consequences of prolonged exercise in the heat. This review provides a comprehensive and …

The skin is a complex organ that has devised numerous strategies, such as physical,
chemical, and microbiological barriers, to protect the host from external insults. In addition …

Maintenance of a homeostatic body core temperature is a critical brain function
accomplished by a central neural network. This orchestrates a complex behavioral and …

During the past 30 yr, investigating the physiology of eating behaviors has generated a truly
vast literature. This is fueled in part by a dramatic increase in obesity and its comorbidities …

Fever is a cardinal response to infection that has been conserved in warm-blooded and cold-
blooded vertebrates for more than 600 million years of evolution. The fever response is …

Exercise heat acclimation induces physiological adaptations that improve thermoregulation,
attenuate physiological strain, reduce the risk of serious heat illness, and improve aerobic …

Thermoregulation is the maintenance of a relatively constant core body temperature.
Humans normally maintain a body temperature at 37 C, and maintenance of this relatively …

This review analyses whether skin temperature represents ambient temperature and serves
as a feedforward signal for the thermoregulation system, or whether it is one of the body's …

All animals evaluate the salience of external stimuli and integrate them with internal
physiological information into adaptive behavior. Natural and sexual selection im**e on …
